About your Top
Italian Olive
Olive wood (Olea europaea) comes from the Mediterranean region, primarily from countries like Italy, Spain, and Greece. It is known for its striking golden-brown hues, often contrasted by dark, irregular streaks that create unique, flowing patterns. The grain is typically fine and dense, with a smooth texture that takes a high polish. Due to its slow growth, olive wood often features intricate, organic figuring, making each piece highly distinctive.
Lovely Curves
M-Series tops are bent on the armrest which keeps intact the beautiful grain as well as creating an ergonomic and delicate curve to rest on.

Modern Electronics
The M-Series comes equiped with our Modern Electronics.
Contrary to what the name might evoke, the Modern Configuration is modern by its power, versatility and potential, rather than being specifically meant for modern genres like prog or fusion. But it does it like nothing else !
This Configuration features active electronics, more complex layouts for advanced tonescaping, and our AURA III Pickups Family. These are noisecancelling pickups with modern components and advanced architectures.
Pickups
2 AURA III-M
The AURA III-M boasts a side-by-side dual-coil design, engineered for bass players seeking a robust and powerful tone. With scattered windings and Alnico 5 magnets, this pickup produces a thicker, more aggressive sound with a strong low-end presence. The side-by-side configuration enhances the depth and fullness of your bass, providing a well-rounded sonic experience that excels in heavy rock, metal, and other genres that require a strong bass foundation. The AURA III-M offers dynamic range and tonal complexity, ensuring that your bass lines cut through the mix with authority.
